Abstract

Our age may well be called as the age of cyber crime, so our need for security has become very important. In information security one of the main fields is user authentication, including the use of passwords, which is the oldest method. Analysing the password related security incidents of the near past and investigating the different password related rules of different companies we find an alarming situation: as if only bad and worse practices existed. Re-thinking some old rules seems to be carved in stone we can find simple and efficient solutions for handling passwords both on user and system administrator side.
